It's been fifteen years since RECORD launched the Good Design is Good Business Awards (initially with Business Week magazine), and we've all had quite a ride—from the economic highs of the '90s and early- to mid-2000s through the humbling realities of the more recent downturn. The good news: The momentum is growing. Corporate heads and small business owners alike continue to work with architects, developing solutions that will make their companies more relevant and successful in a global culture that increasingly demands environmental stewardship and social responsibility. This year's winning projects, and the firm/client relationships responsible for them, represent the best of these collaborations and demonstrate that many enterprises do prioritize quality of life and sustainability—a positive leap toward an improved business ethic that benefits everyone. — The Editors
